Riot, I want to have a discussion regarding Ahri
After reading the patch notes and you notes on Ahri, I couldn't help but notice the two things that needed to be changed in order for her to NOT be broken. The movespeed buff on Q needs to be removed and/or her Q damage needs to be lowered.
Currently, Ahri in laning phase destroys just about everything while being super safe because of one ability - her Q. She throws out the Q and gains a huge movespeed buff, allowing her to easily hit both kinds of damage while also being out of range to be retaliated on at all points. By turning her into a kite-mage, you destroyed her only weakness - her pre-6 laning phase being mediocre at best. She still won't have any real weaknesses with this change, as she'll only go in when she knows you will die, and you won't be attacked with her W otherwise and the R change is LAUGHABLE in terms of actually doing anything.
Now arguably, the Q damage is ok, but a somewhat on the high side. I'd be ok with her having the movespeed buff if the ability didn't hit like a truck because it's now the easiest skillshot to hit in league of legends.
What I want to know is why the mvoement speed buff on her Q was not changed or removed at all and made into something more healthy for the champion.
